Lau Unplugged
Beloved folk trio Lau present their unplugged show, in which they return to their instruments’ natural soundscapes for an evening’s exploration of re-arranged and re-created material from across their catalogue.
A stripped-down performance without pedalboards or electronics, just voice, fiddle, guitar and accordion, and a 4-track tape Recorder, Kris Drever (guitar and vocals), Martin Green (accordion, Wurlitzer, keys, electronics) and Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle) are back to present music that is complex, accessible, challenging, comforting and delivered with spiritual conviction.
They come from the legendary melting pot of the Edinburgh trad scene at the turn of the century and have created a mix from the fabric of Scottish and Irish musical heritage, progressive art rock ideas and a playful sense of theatre. They’ve won all sorts of plaudits nationally and internationally and sold-out venues worldwide. After almost 18 years in existence, they’re still in love with the music they get to make and practising the art of sharing it.
“Lau are a remarkable band – the most musically adventurous trio in British folk exquisite and hypnotic, musicianship at its best.”
– The Guardian
Part of Lau-Land.
